This box is turned from a piece of spalted hard maple (Acer saccharum) and features an inset lid that has been textured with random dimples and then painted black to contrast with the natural colour of the box body. The lid has been fitted with a diminutive two-part knob made black walnut (Juglans nigra) that has a simple curved profile on the outside and a decorative disk on the inside which features a textured flower that has been highlighted with gold gilding. The subtle, dome shape of the lid compliments the overall shape of the box. The bottom of the box is decorated with additional texturing to provide a little surprise when the box is handled. The of the box has been finished with a shellac and oil mixture and buffed to a pleasant satin sheen that provides protection while still giving unmistakable feel of wood. This delicate box is the perfect place to keep your most precious earrings, cuff links, or other keepsakes.
